44/357 mag Accurate #7 or #9?

Howdy all. Just got some #9, and with a fun show coming up, I was wondering how # 7 & 9 compared in actual use. Been looking through the forum, and haven't found anything, so I figured I'd ask. Revolvers are S.A., and are a Ruger New Model 6" Blackhawk; Ruger New Model 6" Super Blackhawk; and an Interarms 8 & 3/8" SS Virginian Dragoon (pix posted in the reloading bench thread on pg 13). Preferred bullet is a 240gr JHP (not a SJHP) for 44, and a 125gr JHP for the 357 - both Hornady XTP's. I'm also open to any other load, as well.

Wolleyworm, I want to use 240gr JHP for a backup when in the woods, so I need a good stiff hunting load for just in case. Same for the 357 with 125 gr JHP's for a backup for the backup. Hornady XTP's in both. Maybe for the dreaded zombie outbreak, too. 'Preciate all the replies that y'all are givin'!
